Maybe I should make it clear I don't defend the strategy. I'm not an expert and honestly I don't know what the best national strategy for protecting against a pandemic is.

Regarding the lack of information for the elderly care tough, I know Anders Tegnell (who was the spokesperson for FHM during most press conferences) have said in several interviews that he regards that as a failure on FHMs part. They believed that stressing that the elderly were the most vulnerable would be enough, but says that this was probably a mistake.
